I found article 838223 which references this problem. Has anybody had thisproblem or tried the workaround that is recommended in this article? Itrecommended using catutil.exe (article 825484) to remove the catalogs that arenot correct. I'm assuming this is the "Delete an Index" section? But what is theworkspace_name that they are referencing?

If I do this, will this resolve my problem because also in article 838223, theyalso stated that "If you intend to add the catalog back to the Index Server, youmust rebuild the catalog first, and then re-propagate the catalog". How do youdo that?

I'm confused by this article. I'm just wondering if anybody has attempted tofollow this article to resolve the problem or if you have a workaround, pleaseadvise.
